I honestly mean no offense by this, but is it possible you're just getting old? I know guys that grew up with 50s cars love 50s cars. Guys that grew up in the 60s love 60s cars. Guys that grew up in the 70s pretend the late 70s never happened but love the early 70s cars. You like 80s cars and I bet you were young in the 80s drooling over the current cars at the time.
This BMW seems like an appropriate evolutionary step and doesn't seem radical at all considering their trajectory with the last couple models. I know what you're saying about too much styling not aging well, but I don't think this qualifies. When you have r-tarded vents and scoops and swoops (e.g. Tiburon) you're going to get yourself into trouble, but I predict this will age very well.
